how goes the corals?haven't heard from you in a long time, hope all is well in your world. Ours has been hectic but a lot of fun. Doing yard work has been most gratifying. I'm always in the mood to pot flowers and plants.

Greetings!Hi! Its sure has been a while! How have you been? I'm well, family is all good, critters too! Its summer now in sunny South Africa, and things are hotting up as we close in on the holidays. The malls are looking crazy busy and the roads around them too. Just imagine doing Christmas shopping in the heat of summer. We've been having a lot of rain too, whihc is good, though it just adds to the effect as the humidity takes effect. Its times like now that I wish I was a lady so I could wear skirts, which I'm guessing is a lot cooler than trousers. The fish have been well. I've had a few losses in the brackish water setup, but things have stabilised lately. The discus are all well. How are you doing? How is your family? Take care! Cheers! Stokes

Miss youWell, here's how my day went. I got home this morning at 7:30 am after spending another sleepless uncomfortable night at the hospital. I noticed that Jack hadn't left for work yet and thought that was strange. I was sooooo looking forward to taking a shower and maybe a bit of a nap because I was exhausted. My back was killing me from that horrible bed at the hospital too. Well, he met me at the door and said bad, bad, bad news. I say what? The fish tank had sprung a leak somewhere untrackable and had dumped all over the floor and even ran down into the basement. So we ended up running all over the place trying to find a replacement tank that would fit into the same spot. We finally ended up getting a 55g that overhangs into the bay window a bit but would work. I had to buy a new stand too because the old was too small and had nearly disintigrated from the leak. Then when we got home I had to dismantle everything in the tank into totes including all the sand with minimal loss of life. I'm glad there are only three fish right now. Then we had to move the old tank out and get the new one in place and reverse the whole process. It took all my strength not to just sit down and cry all afternoon. I thought my back hurt earlier well that was n othing compared to now!!! There is still alot of silt that needs to clear out but I got it all back together. All the rock needs to be re arranged because I pretty much just lobbed it in to cut down on die off. I have to wait till the silt dissapates before I can fine tune it because I pretty much can't see anything. Thursday I can spend the day fixing it. I hope I don't lose any corals from all the trauma. What a day!!! So how was yours?

Happy ThanksgivingI hope you all are having a marvelous Thanksgiving! I'm here at the hospital on call but it hasen't turned out as lonely as I thought it would. One of my co-workers had picked up a shift in the emergency room so we met for lunch. The hospital cafeteria was serving up a free turkey dinner for employees which turned out to be not bad for hospital food. Then since she was still on at dinner time I met up with her again. This time we had turkey dinner that the doctor in charge of the ER had cooked himself and brought in for the staff. He had thought of everything down to the gravy and it was all delicious! Very unusual for a doctor to be so thoughtful. We were still pretty full from lunch but we stuffed more in anyway. So all in all, not a bad day. Now I just have to get through a 10 hour shift tommorrow after having been here all night. Then I can relax, ahhhh, can't wait.
